Barry Kennaugh has engaged the services of Chris Peters the Proprietor of Tours of Oxford for our Trip to Oxford on Tuesday, 26th June. This is an optional activity and is NOT included in the price of the outing. Please be aware that the cost of going on this walking tour will be in the region of £3.50 per person.

The Walking Tour will include visiting New College – The Cloisters, Dining Hall & Chapel, then Trinity College and also The Divinity School ( the oldest “classroom” in the University ) set within the Bodleian Library amongst other things, and our Tour should last just over 2 hours starting from the Western Library at 10.30 A.M. following our drop-off from the Johnsons coach. Please note, there will be small additional admission charges at own cost for entry to some of the venues we will visit.
